Tech Ka Masala, Episode 30: iPad, Buzz, WinMo7 and more.

From the beginning, Tech Ka Masala 30 was envisioned as an hour-long special. We had many interesting things to talk about: iPad, Google Buzz, WinMo7, Symbian, Paypal and more.

It ran to 53 minutes, actually, and I can promise you that it’s worth it.

The episode was livestreamed in the making, and it was a whole lot of fun with users being able to participate in the discussion via chatroom. To stay updated about the next livestream, follow me around on Twitter.
